Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Historians believe that the typical worker in the middle of the 19th century was a traditional craftsperson and labourer rather than a machine operator. Technology developed slowly. New ones did not quickly replace traditional industries. Only 20% of the overall workforce was employed in the technologically advanced industrial sector by the end of the 19th century.
